Case Study : Syrup Room

Reason For Repair

  • The floor was uneven and unsuitable in its current condition.​

 

  • Expansion joints were cracked and open due to years of wear and tear and liquid penetration.​

 

  • Cracking tiles​

 

  • Rotting residue underneath tiles and poor drainage can cause liquid to penetrate and cause tiles to lift

Preparation Of The Floor

  • The floor was assessed to find where drummy areas were and what areas needed to be cut out and repaired.​

 

  • ​Tile floor/concrete substrate (in certain areas) needed to be jackhammered up and ground back to the substrate to open up capillaries in the concrete for a stronger bond.

Installation

  • The floor was then vacuumed to ensure no dust or dirt remained on the surface​

 

  • All low points are filled with an epoxy mortar to ensure a level surface. ​

 

  • The surface is now clean and contaminant free ready for cementitious polyurethane cement installation. 

Application of Polyurethane Cement Floor

  • Polyurethane cement was applied at the required thickness. ​

 

  • Aggregate was broadcasted throughout the polyurethane to add a non-slip surface rating between R11-R12

Additional Preparation Work for Tiled Coving & Top Coat

  • Once the floor had been laid additional prep work was necessary on the tiled coving in order to maximise the bond strength of the top coat.​

 

  • Areas that needed repairs were given additional attention and filled with epoxy mortar.

 

  • The floor was painted using an anti-microbial epoxy top coat to seal the floor from liquids and chemical attacks.
